Anand is maintainer within fstests and I guess he reviews the patches
when putting them to the branch for merge. Filipe is mentioned as
reviewer but please don't expect him to reivew each and every patch.

I have a feeling that you're following process of merging patches that
is maybe modeled after linux kernel, with the multiple branches and
even merge window (mentioned in previsous PR), but this is IMO
inadequate for a testsuite where we need quick fixups to test cases to
be released in a much shorter turnaround.

I was expecting that if there was a dedicated maintainer for a
filesystem then things would go smoothly and we could skip formalities
because the maintainer is expected to do reviews that count too.
